Artwork notes

The artist’s simple actions make the title into a proposition to test.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Text, photographs, print and video avoid a single signature medium.

Marks and structure

Cropping, selection and missing information redirect attention.

Palette and light

Plain lettering or flat colour can interrupt a photograph’s familiar hierarchy.
